Brene Brown said, “Perfection is the enemy of good.”
Our task is not to find perfection, but progress. After all, “There is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins” (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
Even the great apostle Paul admitted, “Not that I have already attained this or am already perfect, but I press on” (Philippians 3:12).
So let’s talk about progress. I suggest you follow this simple plan:
- Daily – recovery work
- Weekly – one meeting
- Monthly – Recovery Day
- Yearly – personal retreat
Recovery Step: Focus on progress, one day and one decision at a time.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
